Like the choice and the reasoning..
The main function of this board is to impart information and that is something it has always done really well. Anything else is just an overhead. The same reason why most people use DOS for emulation rather than Windows, lack of excess baggage.
The present board offers 100% information of course, even the headings of replies, which you can change, impart info to some extent and just scrolling down the page invites interest and prompts newcomers to open some of the threads. It's a hard act to beat....
phpBB is OK but hopefully not with the current colour scheme which would probably be more suited to a funeral directors association message board...
: 1. phpBB - light on graphics, good speed
: 2. XMB - dig the polls, a little too pretty
: 3. wwwthreads - too bare
: 4. YaBB - way too pretty, too slow
